Video of a “KEY” roadtrip to Nashville is shown.
Student, Dustin Stone speaks:
Well, it's been really positive once we got to Nashville, it is just a lot of energy, there's a lot of creative energy. And for me, as a musician, it helps. It just was really inspiring.
00:00:09:17 - 00:00:19:20
Other still images and video elements are shown on screen as students speak.
Student, Iliana Mehmeti speaks:
I think what I love the most about the trip is learning, understanding more about Nashville and how it developed so much in such a short period of time.
00:00:19:20 - 00:00:26:08
Student, Emily Bryant speaks:
Yeah, we've had a great experience. We got to meet with so many different people and businesses, and Nashville.
00:00:26:08 - 00:00:37:21
Dustin Stone speaks again:
Had a lot of opportunities to see some stuff that I would never really, really get the opportunity to see, like the Chamber of Commerce and the Wondry Center and now the Grand Ole Opry. So it's been nothing but positive.
00:00:37:21 - 00:00:51:02
Emily Bryant speaks again:
Being a psychology major on a business trip, I am able to pull so many things of what I'm learning and my psychology and apply it to the business that we've learned. And it's been really interesting being able to intertwine those things.
00:00:51:08 - 00:01:06:15
Iliana Mehmeti speaks again:
We've learned that a lot of people from different states are coming to Nashville to develop their careers, chase their dreams. It's the new "New York City" and the new "San Francisco," I would say. And with way more affordable prices, which was very interesting.
00:01:06:23 - 00:01:20:09
Emily Bryant speaks again:
Yeah, it's been a really cool experience. I wasn't quite sure what to expect on this trip, but it's met all expectations and I've learned so many things. I love Nashville.
00:01:20:09 - 00:01:22:20

That's a pretty good solid answer, all right. Thank you!

Preparation for Whatever Comes Next
Music city inspires business students
When you’ve always lived in a small town, it’s hard to imagine living and working in a large city.
But when you see someone from your town, and from your university, who has achieved success, it’s easier to believe.
An Indiana University Kokomo KEY trip gave 20 students in the School of Business a chance to picture themselves in fast-growing Nashville, Tennessee, including a visit with alumnus Doug Showalter, who talked about his career in the music industry.

Business major completes degree started 20 years ago
When Lisa Rhoades crosses the stage and accepts her diploma during Indiana University Kokomo’s Commencement, it will be a victory 20 years in the making, and a tribute to never giving up.
“I almost can’t even grasp that it’s real,” said Rhoades, who will receive a Bachelor of Science in Business. “It’s been the one thing that I needed to do to feel like I had fulfilled my dreams. I had so much potential, and it was the one thing I felt I should have done that I hadn’t. I’ve never been so excited about anything.”
Persistence pays off
